After breakfast a group of us went for a walk down to the river. In the picture above is (from left to right) Alexandria, Becca, Emmanuel, myself and Fred. After the hike we returned to the house to start cooking once again. I was in charge of preparing a vegetable platter and 6 kilos (over 13 pounds!) of mashed potatoes. The picture above shows Patricia looking over the table of food.
It really didn’t feel like Thanksgiving at all until I filled my plate. Thanksgiving dinner was delicious – and completely vegan! Auntie Cathy is a great cook and really knows how to prepare food with the limits of what is available in Guinea, and vegan on top of that.
